Basically PayPal isn't going to help you. I have called them many times regarding holding my funds. I am a disabled Vet and this is my only source of income. Now I can not pay the people who I've sold things for nor can I pay vendors for the items I sold. Not only do they say you can go negitive on your pending balance for shipping charges. Which is completely untrue. I had to add money to my savings account to withdraw shippng from. I have over $1000 in there I can not access. I was told they were going to have people sitting there watching every single tracking number and release funds the moment it was recieved. Who is going to believe that? Several items were delievered and still they hadn't released the money. I called and complained and they told me to provide shipping information and deleivery confiormation and so on. I told them NO!!! I said I am not going to do your job for you, it's your policy so take care of it yourself. I waited on hold for 20 minutes while she cleared two items. I have sold over 200 items on Ebay, not a lot but was moving forward. Out of 200 I have two negitives. We all know that you can't please everyone every single time. So I thought that was pretty good.. So why am I being punished? They get a fee. They were to take payments and transfer money on our behalf. At not time did I agree to let them control my money. I don't think any of us did either. I would guess they didn't hire more people to track every shipment, but instead they are using our money to invest short term and keeping the interest. While we rack up late fees, higher interest rates and unsatified buyers and sellers. Paypal is a joke. I have used them for ten plus years. However, I am done with them. They are forcing many people to search else where. There is a company that is already working with Ebay to take credit cards. They are on Ebay's site as alternative methods of payment. There name is ProPays. They are not the only other company we can yse. It all o services you are interested in. They DO NOT hold your funds. I've contacted my lawyer and if someone doesn't beat me to it; there will be a class action law suit. I am sure many of you will want some of that action. Keep your eye out.
